Volunteer with Thera!
There are many ways you can get involved in volunteering with Thera whether you want to have fun with a new friend, teach someone a new skill, or be a key part of how Thera works. This can be through becoming a Gig Buddy or helping support people with a learning disability to understand how they can develop a healthier lifestyle, feel confident and take control of their lives.

Circles
A circle of support is a group (usually of 6 or more people) who are invited to come together to offer support and advice to someone with a learning disability.
Every circle is unique but what they have in common is that they consist of people who choose to be in your life. They are not paid to be there. You will meet with them regularly and develop strong relationships of care and personal friendship.

Events encouraging friendships
The Camden Society (London) held a ‘Friendathon’ event earlier this year to encourage the people they support to form meaningful friendships.
They travelled to Paddington in London for a night of games and laughter. The games included an ice breaker which encouraged the people we support to share stories and find common interests with each other. The questions for the ice breaker were created by Anne, a person supported by The Camden Society (London).
